Whether you are sellers or buyers, we bet that this tip will save you a lot of time and make it easier for you to buy second-hand gems.
Free online classified ads site that needs no introduction, Leboncoin functions like a virtual market where everyone can buy and/or sell second-hand items, ranging from furniture and household appliances to cars and even real estate properties. Users post ads showcasing what they want to sell, and interested people can then contact the seller to negotiate and close the sale. The site is very popular in France because it allows you to find good deals close to home, thanks to its search system by region. Plus, it’s a practical way to recycle items, rather than throwing them away.
Whether you are looking for a second-hand designer lamp so as not to pay an eye for it, a sofa bed in good condition for the guest room or an inexpensive garden furniture capable of brightening up your outdoor space when the sunny days return, Leboncoin is THE solution of choice for many of us, born or aspiring bargain hunters. The same if you need to make space, selling what you no longer need is easy as pie and can bring you big profits.
The platform’s teams are constantly launching new features and the one we are going to present to you, some have been waiting for a long time. “It’s going to change my life!”, “Han brilliant”, “The revolution”… We can already say that she gets everyone in agreement in the comments of Sarah’s video, @maison.jean.jules on Instagram, which put her in the spotlight on social networks at the beginning of December.
Inspired by what Google already offers with its artificial intelligence-powered application, Google Lens, this feature aims to save you precious time. To test it, simply open the Leboncoin application on your mobile, click on the camera icon, to the far right of the search bar – “Search on leboncoin”. From there, you will be able to import a photo or take one directly from your phone. And a whole list of ads based on your image will be displayed!
In order to properly use the Leboncoin visual search, you must ensure that you only take a photo of a single object and that the image is clear, with a dark background. Also, note that the search is limited to certain categories, including home, garden and fashion. And the results offered are quite broad, so it is possible that you will not only have objects 100% similar to the one you took a photo of, but it remains very practical, you will see!
